I also started writing developers documentation to http:// wiki.dovecot.org/Design. Comments welcome. Some things I had
planned next:
- istream internals
- lib-storage API docs

This is great news, thanks! One thing in particular that I'd
like to see is something on writing plugins. I have several ideas
of plugins I'd like to write but have hesitated to get started due
to not wanting to basically dig through tons of source to figure
out how to interface to Dovecot's internals.The plugin API itself is really really simple. Basically Dovecot
just calls plugin_name_init() and you'll go on from there. What
would you want your plugin to do? Probably what you need is lib- storage API docs. There are a couple of hooks that only plugins
use, but those still belong to lib-storage API category I think.
Actually my current ideas have nothing to do with storage; I want
to be able to access messages (including body text) during the
delivery process.
